Sonakshi Sinha is reportedly preparing to tie the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Zaheer Iqbal, later this month. Amidst the swirling wedding rumours, her father, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, shared his thoughts in an interview with Zoom. He revealed that he is not yet aware of their wedding plans and will bless the couple when they inform him.
“I am in Delhi right now. After the election results, I flew down here. I haven’t spoken to anyone about my daughter’s plans. So, your question is, is she getting married? The answer is that she hasn’t told me anything about it,” said Shatrughan Sinha.
He added, “Main bhi utna hi jaanta ho jitna main media maine padha hai (I know as much about this as what the media has told me). If and when she takes me into confidence, my wife and I will give the couple our blessings. We wish her happiness always. We trust her judgment completely. She would never make an extra-constitutional or illegal decision. As a consenting adult, she has the right to make her own decisions.”
Expressing his enthusiasm for the potential wedding, Shatrughan Sinha stated, “Having said that, I would like to say that whenever my daughter gets married, I would like to be dancing right in front of the baaraat. I am being asked by people close to me why I am not aware of this and the media is aware of it. All I can say is, aaj kal ke bacche consent nahin lete maap-baap ke, sirf inform karte hain (these days, children don’t seek permission from parents, they just inform). We are waiting to be informed.”

The wedding rumours ignited after India Today reported that Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal are set to marry on June 23. According to the report, invitations have been sent to close friends, family members, and the cast of Heeramandi. The wedding invite, resembling a magazine cover, features the words “The rumours are true.” The festivities are expected to take place at Bastian in Mumbai.
For those unfamiliar, Sonakshi and Zaheer have been rumoured to be dating since 2020. They starred together in the 2022 film “Double XL” and appeared in the music video “Jodi Blockbuster” last year.
